Janey Godley is one of Britain鈥檚 leading comedians. This film follows Janey on her 2023 Not Dead Yet tour, following her diagnosis of terminal cancer. Janey is touring with her best mate Shirley and her daughter, comedian Ashley Storrie, who are almost as funny and frank as she is. As Janey tours the country, we intercut her stand-up show with the story of her extraordinary life, told with her trademark take-no-prisoners honesty and dark humour.

Janey grew up in poverty in Glasgow鈥檚 East End. Her mother was an alcoholic and, as a child, Janey was sexually abused by her uncle. She tells the story of her mother's horrific murder when Janey was 21, revisiting the river where her body was found.

At age 19, Janey married into a notorious family of Glasgow gangsters, running a successful pub for them with her husband. Janey had always been funny, and when she and her husband fell out with his family, Janey reinvented herself as a comedian.

We see Janey protesting Donald Trump鈥檚 visit to Scotland in 2016, and during Covid, Janey was one of the few glimmers of cheer in Scotland, with her brilliant re-voicings of Nicola Sturgeon鈥檚 press conferences. However, her success led to the uncovering of historic racist tweets, which seemed at the time career-ending.

Throughout the film, Janey deals with the grim reality of Stage 3 cancer, along with the highs and lows of touring. The film culminates in an emotional show at Glasgow's 3,000-seater SEC Armadillo.
